Student and Faculty Funding

Seven times each year, URSA awards funding to undergraduate students to support research projects as well as travel to conferences to present their work.

Faculty members, postdocs and graduate students may apply for the Mentoring award opportunity each fall to receive funding to support development and implementation of undergraduate research opportunities.

All UAF staff, students, and faculty are eligible to apply for Community Engaged Learning awards once each fall and Innovative Technology and Education awards once each spring.

In 2017, URSA awarded nearly $300,000 in funding.

41% of all UAF undergraduate students to participate in research during their time at UAF.
